Modular multi-phase inverters developed specifically for the international military and commercial marine markets by Converteam of Rugby (formerly ALSTOM Power Conversion) are subject to continual development to ensure maximum control and efficiency.

REO UK Ltd, specialist in high-quality power equipment (off-the-shelf and custom-engineered), now offers an on-line purchasing service. Purchases can be made on-line using credit cards or, alternatively, by phone, fax or email.

Selecting an EMC filter based upon typical test house protocols employing a conventional 50 source and 50 load impedance test does not guarantee the connected product will not cause (or suffer) problems in the field due to conducted emissions (or immunity).

A new power controller, employing novel technology has been developed by REO. Called the 'REOTRON MEW 700/50 2S', the controller operates on the phase-angle principle but, unlike traditional systems, it reduces harmonics (power factor) and provides a smoother process. The unit can be used for voltage, current or power regulation.

A new range of transformers that are designed specially to operate in applications where an electrical system operates much of the time in stand-by mode has been introduced by REO (UK) Ltd. They offer significant energy savings as a result of high operating efficiencies even under low or no load conditions. 

A new versatile switch-mode AC power supply unit that provides a step-less adjustment of output voltage and frequency, with a choice of either analogue or digital control, has been introduced by REO (UK) LTD. The unit can be used in voltage, current or power regulation mode.

A new current limiter module, designed to reduce the current surge when loads such as transformers (especially toroidal types), switch-mode power supplies or small motors are first switched on, has just been introduced by REO UK Ltd. Key features are said to be compactness and high efficiency.

A measuring instrument designed to facilitate the development, tuning and servicing of vibratory equipment, such as conveyors or bowl feeders, has been introduced by REO.

We have used the sun for drying clothes and growing food for thousands of years but only recently have we harnessed its power. With a focus on alternative and renewable energy increasing globally, REO (UK) Ltd has launched a solar transformer that allows this power to be fed back onto the public supply network.

To help demystify the new EMC Directive, REO has published a series of FREE mini guides, which can be posted or downloaded from their website The new Directive puts the onus on virtually everyone in the supply chain including designers, system integrators, panel builders, contractors , installers and equipment owners, to ensure that equipment, whether it is a finished appliance or a fixed installation conforms to the essential requirements of the Directive.
